Chapter 529: The Ghost Lingers
The power seal does not mean that Xia Lan has lost his keen insight, after all, the adventures of life and death over the years are not for nothing, maybe he doesn't know why the patrol turns a deaf ear to him, but he knows that since he left the pass to Linquan Town, there are people around him all the time watching them.
The identity of the watcher is basically not to be repeated, who else can there be besides the garrison of the pass? It is nothing more than a precautionary measure that cannot be cross-examined and cannot be reassured. If Xia Lan and Joanna disobey the warning and reveal the matter of Viscount Carlin, or accidentally reveal other hidden truths during the conversation, the other party will definitely show up and detain them again for interrogation as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Xia Lan won't give them this opportunity.
Wandering aimlessly in Linquan Town for a long time, Xia Lan found through careful observation and people's chatter that the prosperity and tranquility of Linquan Town was only a superficial phenomenon, ignoring the mediocre and ignorant ordinary people, and the clues could be seen from the large number of merchants gathered in the town.
Merchants have always believed that time is money, and in terms of transportation and trade, the longer they stay in one place, it will inevitably have a serious impact on business, but the merchants of Linquan Town just stopped moving, and the reason is nothing more than to wait and see the situation of the war in the south. Once the south is lost, the business is small, and it is not worth losing their lives, no wonder they did not meet a group of caravans when they walked on the ancient road in the forest, and the problem of daring lies here.
As night fell, Charan returned to the hotel.
As soon as he lay down in his room to rest, Joanna next door knocked on his door in a panic.
"Rango! Oh no! Something doesn't seem quite right with Nina! ”
Joanna's eyes were red and swollen, her lips were blue, and tears were constantly spilling down her pale face like pearls with broken threads.
Xia Lan heard this. Without saying a word, he walked towards Joanna's room. When he saw the bed with his eyes closed. Nina, who was angry, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, he touched Nina's forehead, it was amazingly hot, and after checking the pulse and heartbeat, he found signs of weakness, even if he didn't understand medical science, he could see how bad Nina's body was with his eyes.
"Nina's condition is urgent, and she must be treated urgently!"
Xia Lan took a deep breath. Wrapped in a futon and holding Nina in his arms, he threw the words at Joanna and rushed out of the room.
"Rango! Arango! Where are you taking Nina? Joanna behind her cried anxiously.
"Church!"
The voice echoed, and Xia Lan's figure had already rushed out of the hotel like a gust of wind.
The medical treatment in Elderland's world can be described as simple and crude, basically based on potions and holy light treatment, the medical effects of both have their own merits, and it is not good who is bad, but now in the case of the decline of pharmacy, the holy light treatment inherited from the hegemonic era has undoubtedly become people's first choice, and in order to attract believers, the "Radiant Sanctuary" often gives followers free medical treatment. As a result, people are more and more inclined to light therapy after getting sick, and pharmacy is becoming more and more decayed. When she first met Winnie, she often complained that the "Radiant Sanctuary" had robbed the mid- and low-level pharmacists of their livelihoods.
All in all, the Holy Light Healing is very marketable in Elderland, as long as the priests of the Templar who are not mortally ill have a way to rejuvenate themselves, provided that you pay a sufficient price, of course, minor illnesses and pains and the like.
I thought that Nina was an ordinary discomfort caused by the fatigue of traveling, but I never thought that she would fall to such a serious point, even the healing potion would not work, you must know that his potion was specially made for him by Winnie, who stepped into the threshold of the pharmacy master, and ordinary people can use a drop to be a hundred times more energetic, why is Nina counterproductive after using it? Could it be that Winnie poisoned the potion?
Thinking of this, Xia Lan's eyelids twitched violently.
Because it's possible.
It is true that she loves Xia Lan, but there are many kinds of love.
Her love was too heavy, so heavy that it was almost twisted.
Even if Xia Lan is a dead person, she will love this corpse deeply, or rather, she would rather Xia Lan be a dead person, a dead person who belongs only to herself.
Winnie had said many times that she would kill Charan, but Charan never gave her the chance.
And did she really give up?
Xia Lan didn't know.
Because he never got to know this woman seriously.
The church and the hotel in Linquan Town were a block away, and Xia Lan had wandered past him in the evening, and he had never had a good impression of the church, not to mention that the seal on his body was the masterpiece of the Pope of the Revelation Mountain, and he thought that he would never turn to the Templars in his life, but now he broke his insistence because of a child.
At this time, the church was already closed, and there were no other priests except the night watchman, and she realized this when Xia Lan rushed to the church with Nina in her arms, but Nina's illness could not be delayed, and with a glimmer of hope, he still knocked on the door of the church.
"Who are you? What disturbs the church at night? ”
With a creak, the door of the church opened a crack, and a wrinkled old man holding an oil lamp looked at Xia Lan outside the door and said in a low voice.
"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of going down! It's just that a loved one is seriously ill and his life is hanging by a thread, so he has to crash into the church. Xia Lan said respectfully.
The night watchman of every church may be a strong man who is deeply hidden, and Xia Lan, who has now become a waste, does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the other party, not to mention that there must always be an attitude of asking for help.
The night watchman looked Xia Lan up and down, and in a moment, the church door slowly opened.
As soon as I entered the church, the candles on the walls suddenly lit up, illuminating the dark vestibule.
"Leave the baby to me."
At this time, the night watchman standing on the side suddenly said to Xia Lan.
"Will you heal?" Charland Road.
"I understand a little." A night watchman wrapped in an off-white robe.
"As long as you can save this child, I can pay any price!" Xia Lan hesitated for a moment, and handed over to the other party in her arms.
"Let's wait until I cure this child."
The night watchman took the child, his tone was flat, and then walked slowly into the vestibule with the oil lamp.
Immediately behind the other man, he passed through the antechamber and came to a room that looked like a prayer room, and the night watchman slowly placed Nina in the futon on a long table and began to slowly check Nina's symptoms.
Time passed slowly, the wrinkles on the night watchman's face deepened, and his cloudy eyes seemed to have no life, and after a long time, he shook his head, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when a sudden voice interrupted his mouth.
"Rango! Arango! ”
Joanna rushed into the prayer room in a panic, and when she saw Nina and the night watchman at the long table in the distance, she burst into tears.
"Great! Arango! I've finally found you and Nina! What happened to Nina? ”
"She's being treated by this old man at the church watch." Xia Lan glanced at the night watchman beside her.
"Old man! Please save my poor daughter! ”
When Joanna heard this, she stumbled to her knees and cried before the night watchman.
"Madam, please, the old man will do his best to heal your daughter." The old man raised his hand to support him, and an inexplicable force helped Joanna up.
"How's the child doing?" Xia Lan hurriedly asked.
"According to my diagnosis, this child should be poisoned!" The old man sighed lightly, "And it's a strange poison I've never seen before." ”
"Poisoning?!"
Charan and Joanna said in unison.
Joanna was stunned, and Xia Lan's heart sank.
And so it was!
Winnie!
It turned out to be really you!
"So, old man, do you have a way to get rid of the poison in Nina's body?" Joanna was so focused on Nina that she seemed to ignore the cause of Nina's poisoning for the time being.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything!" The Night's Watch shook his head.
"Nina! Nina! My poor child! You can't die! You can't leave your mother alone......" Joanna was stunned when she heard this, and then the whole person threw herself on Nina's body as if she had collapsed and cried bitterly.
"Old man! Isn't there any other way to heal Nina? "Maintain a calm Charanda.
"Yes, yes!" The night watchman looked at Xia Lan and said with a meaningful gaze: "If you find the person who made this strange poison, you will naturally be able to find the antidote. ”
"What if the poison maker is dead?" Xia Lan said in a deep voice.
"......" The night watchman was silent for a long time, and said: "The Holy Light is not omnipotent, although it can cure most of the wounded viroids, but this unprecedented poison is beyond the scope of the Holy Light's cure, now I can only suppress the toxins in the little girl's body, temporarily ensure that her life is worry-free, but after a long time, it will ......."
"I see!" Xia Lan said, "Excuse me, do you know anyone who can unravel this poison?" ”
“…… I know someone, but I don't guarantee that they will help you. The Night's Watch muttered.
"Who is the other party? Where is it? Xia Lan said directly.
"To be exact, I don't know the name of the other party, but I know that the other party lives in seclusion in the misty forest in the northwest of the Anglion Kingdom." The vigil is humane.
"Please tell me how to find each other in the Misty Forest!" Xia Lan said sincerely.
"Do you really want to go to the Misty Forest?" The night watchman was surprised.
"Yes." Charland Road.
"Don't you know the dangers of the Misty Forest? Chances are, you'll be lost forever until you're gone! "The vigil is humane.
"I know." Xia Lan looked at Joanna, who was lying on Nina, who was sluggish and deranged, and said, "But I don't have a choice!" ”
The Night's Watch looked thoughtfully at him and Mother Joanna, then took a transparent ball from his bosom and handed it to each other. "This is a token that the other party once gave me, bring it, and it will guide you to the other party."
"How can I thank you for your help?" Xia Lan didn't take the ball, but stared at the other party.
Because he has always believed that there is no gratuitous favor in the world, and that equal exchange is his principle of doing things.
"I've heard that there's a glowing tree in the Misty Forest, and I'd like you to bring me a leaf of it." (To be continued.) )
